So Will and I had our last game as Gondor attempted to drive the Orcs from it's borders by removing them from Mordor for good. Such vanity. The plains of Gorgoroth are not so easily quieted!
A truly great game. Both sides broken. Heroism and dastardly deeds abound. Faramir fell, transfixed by the Witchking. Captain and Knight slaying Orc after Orc as the weight of numbers began to tell and the flower of Gondor's nobility was laid low around them. Until at the end only a handful were left, the witch king looming over them on his vile winged beast.
It was such a great game and because we ran out of time we decided to call it a draw. Gondor was just ahead on points but it was too close to call without playing it out.
Gondor retreats through the Morgul Vale back to the fair lands of a Ithilien. There is a foul power alive in Mordor once more, a shadow of a greater evil? Surely a question for the Istari to answer!
Firinir (my Faramir) was wounded! Rolling 4 - misses next game.
My Knight, Aradir gained +1 courage.
My Captain, Herion gained +1 strength (the hero of the campaign for Gondor!)
Absolutely brilliant game, Will, brilliant. A fitting end!
